Open the Door to Him Who Comes
Audrius Stonys / Lithuania / 1989 / 10 min.
synopsis
The meditative landscape of a Lithuanian village filled with silent prayer. Tree crowns, church roots, and a rural homestead offer a silent sanctuary that withstands the pressures of the totalitarian regime. Stonys foreshadowed his cinematic liturgy of ordinariness with his directorial debut.
